How long are Subjects cached in deadbolt?

[markehammons]

Is there a way to make sure cached user information is updated if I know it needs updated? Or is the cache time for users very short?

Apologies for the delay in replying.

If you enable user caching by setting deadbolt.java.cache-user to true, this caches the subject for the lifetime of the request. It's an optimization that primarily benefits template constraints, which may be used multiple times within a single request.

I think this can be closed.

@mkurz I think it's a good idea to clarify that one in new docs as well
